WE MUST RAISE OUR HOME
SUPPLIES.

One of the most intelligent farm
ers in Caswell county writes us as
follows:
"Say what they will we will be
in no better condition until we learn
to live on u home supplies, 60 into
grass and clover, make less cotton
and tobacco, and let these be the
money crop. A man car tend 1000
tobacco hills to the hand and make
just as much corn, wheat, oats and
hay as if he made no tobacco. If [
ever spent one dollar for the support
Of my family out of my tobacco
money [ didn't have sense enough
to discover it. Until after the war
[ sold corn, meat, wheat, oats, fodder
and hay more than enough to pay
my family expenses, and what [
received for my tobacco crop was
clear money. When I used CONNER
cial fertilizers | used them in con-
nection with homemade manures,
which should always be DONE

sultivate the crops. They estahl;.I
nurseries and fruit trees and vinaa
They graft and bud and prune and
have orchards coming on to fill
bearing. They fill the silos, Tbar
herd tho cattle and milk the cow,
and feed them, and they make tho
butter and run the creamery, Inst
think Of eighty cows on one farm
not scrub COWS but JERSEYS and
Holsteins, Herefords and DevonS
Just think Of a churn that holds 250
gallons and another that holds Ion
gallons; and there are great cans
of cream that is shipped daily to
New Orleans, for at this season
cream sells for more than butter
The boys do this. [ saw them at #
dressed in their overalls, and thew
did it willingly and were proud for
me to see them at the practical in
dustrial pursuits. 1t is certainly a
novel sight to see a boy in the chem
ical labratory with his blowpipe and
his crucible following science in it's
most abstruse calculations, and then
put on his working clothes and 90
to the cowpen. Well, they do that
here at the A. and NJ. institute.
General Lee is a wonderful man
the man for the place. His West
Point education has made him a dis
ciplinarian. His parent stock has
made him a man of broad command
ing intellect and personal attractions.
The boys love him and respect him
and fear him. "Who is that young
man." said l, "that l see drilling
that squad? He has no uniform on"
NO." said the general, che is a
splendid soldier, but he violated one
Of the rules last week and | took off
his uniform for ten days" Boys
have been expelled whose parents
are the dignitaries of the land. There
is no favoritism here. General Lee
knows no .favors. The humblest
boy in the state has an equal chance
with the sons of highest. The insti-
tuition is full. Frequent applications
are made from non-residents for
admission, but they cannot take
them. Take it all in all, | believe it
is the grandest institution of the
South. 1t is only six years old, and
is yet in it's infancy, but it is a sue
cess and is the pride Of all Mississippi.
There r many dairy farms and fine
cattle herds in this state, and most
Of them are now in charge of young
men who graduated at this institu-
ton, andsthey are literally paid for
their skill and experience.

FARMERS

In another column will be found
the form Of Constitution and By
Laws for organizing Farmers Clubs.
Every township in the State should
have one or more we'll organized
clubs, these should be organized into
county clubs, and these should get
together and form a District Club.
All these should cooperate with the
North Carolina Farmers Associa
ton. Reader, are you a farmer ?
Do you belong to a club? If not,
take the form found in this paper,
fix the time and place at which you
will hold a meeting, e your neigh
bors, get their signatures, meet,
organize and write to The PROGRESS
s1vE FARMER, giving us the facts as
to number of members, the names
of officers, &c. Any active, earnest
farmer easily organize a club.
Try it. Do not be left behind in
this movement.

OUR BLUES GULLEY CORE
SPONDENCE.

The letters Of our Blues Gulley
correspondent which appear weekly
in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER are
eagerly looked for by III readers
and are attracting much attention
throughout the State. They are
we'll written, pithy, racy and inter
esting, and withal a vein Of solid
sense running through them, which
shows that while the writer is a
ready wielder Of the pen he is also
a keen observer of passing events.
He writes with a purpose and that
is not only to entertain the reader
but to instruct, to point out plumbers
and how to avoid them.

Z 1T WAS RATHER QUEER.

The Chatham Home of last week
in publishing a synophis of the pro-
ceedings of the Legislature has the
following:
"On last Saturday the bill to provide
for the support of the Agricultural De-
partment came up in the Senate. The
salary of the Chemist was fixed at $1,000.
The bill provides. for $4,000 to support
the Department., and the balance of the
funds from tax on fertilizers to be turned
into the Treasury. The Bill passed its
final reading in the Senate and goes to
the House. 1t looks a little queer that
the Senate should have rushed this bill
through in such hot haste, with no refer
ence to the recommendation of the
Farmers Mass Convention-not even
waiting for a report from the COM
mittee having the matter in charge"
at was rather queer that this

His Visit to the Mississippi Agricultural
College.

Now this brings me to Starksville,
a pleasant town Of fifteen thousand
bales and the site of a far-famed,
agricultural and mechanical college,
I had heard Of this college all along
the line, and felt an anxious, earnest
interest in it. [ wanted to seefif it
was possible to make an institution
a success where labor was happily
mingled with study. It has long
been a theory of mine that the mind
and the body should be educated
together-the head and the hand
and [ still remember what import
ance was attached. to this union way
back in the Scripture days when
David said: "May my right hand
forget its cunning, and my tongue
cleave to the roof of my mouth, if [
forget thee, oh, Jerusalem" My
good old father tried to establish
this theory and expended a great
deal of money in building up a man.

He had the earnest cooperation of
every parent in the state who was
afflicted with an incorrigible son.
They all sent there to be con-
trolled and reformed, but it was a
notifying failure. The sons of rich
parents would not work at all. On
the contrary, they retarded work.
They plotted and planned by night
how they should dodge their three
hours Of labor the next day, and
they generally succeeded. The ex-
pertinent was a signal failure and
cost my father several thousand dol
lars. But that was in slavery days,
when the sons Of rich men had a
contempt for labor. Now there is
no such contempt existing at the
South, and [ believe that the union

success. and that it will give the
SSuth a better class Of young men
than the literary colleges have
turned out. The state Of Mississippi
has gone into this business with
~earnestness and nerve that is deserv-
ing of success. 1t is no halfway

A GOOD

The farmers of North Carolina
seem to be at last realizing the folly
of depending exclusively on the use
of commercial fertilizers in the Guilt
walton Of their crops. Our State
exchanges in the different sections
of the State make frequent mention
of the fact that the farmers in their
respective localities are purchasing
less of these fertilizers this year than
heretofore, some of them none, hav-
ing determined to turn their atten-
ton to homemade instead.
There is sense in this, although the
determination is made at a late day.
But better late than never. If the
farmers of North Carolina had spent
one-half the money in the production
of homemade manure that they
have paid for imported fertilizers,
their farms would be in much better
condition to-day than they are, and
they would have more money to
show for the labor they have done.
We do not object altogether to COM
mercial fertilizers. They r good
enough .judiciously used, and judi
ciously used means used in connec-
ton with and not as a substitute tor
homemade AS stimulators
Of growth they answer, but as per-
manent feeders of the soil they do
not. They add nothing to the soil
which is not consumed by the grow
ing crop, which is left as poor when
the crop is gathered as it was before
it was planted, if not poorer. The
good farmer who farms intelligently
will make his lands richer while he
makes his crops larger, and from
well-fed land will gather his bounti-
full harvest the poor farmer who
has learned nothing by experience
will continue to doctor his sick land
with high-priced imported fertilizers,
and expect good crops. But his sick
land will never get we'll, v get
strong under that treatment. 1t is
not really so sick as hungry. What
it wants is the right kind Of food,
and enough of it to give it life and
vigor.
II twenty years ago tne
of North Carolina had learned the
value of the homemade n pile,
and given their attention to it in
stead of commercial fertilizers there
would be fewer abandoned cold
fields" and yawning gulleys OF the
red hillsides to bring reproach upon
and proclaim the folly of the men
who spent their lives in destroying
the inheritance of their children.
There are millions of acres Of land
in North Carolina turned out as
worthless for cultivation, which once
bore fair crops, and which have been
ruined by senseless farming, and
much of which now, by proper man
agement, might be restored to fertil-
ity and be made valuable. But it
will never be done until our farmers
learn the value of straw, forest
leaves, grass, clover and the other
materials for fertilizing purposes
which should be found upon or near
every farm.

THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.

There appears to be practically no
opposition to the establishment Of
the proposed agricultural and me-
chanical college. Let the wishes of
the people, therefore, the wishes of
the farmers as formally expressed
through their representatives be
carried out as far and as promptly
as possible.
There is no doubt in the minds of
reasonable men that industrial train
ing is one of our greatest present
needs. The State is advancing
rapidly in material development and
her progress is to be still more rapid
in the near future. Technical train
ing, skilled labor, will. be necessary
in all lines Of industry, and if we
cannot provide these among our own
people they must be brought in from
abroad.
Denying our boys industrial
training is thus robbing them OF
their birth-right.
North Carolina must provide in
time against the delivery of her
riches into the hands of strangers.
Our boys must be given the means
of independence, of turning to their
own advantage the resources nature
has placed in such abundance in
their reach. The way to this end is
through such a school of agriculture
and the mechanic arts as is proposed
and so only.-Raleigh Observer. /
